The Pork ShopFrequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our products, ordering, and what makes The Pork Shop different.
What is Duroc pork?
Duroc is a heritage pig breed known for superior marbling, rich flavor, and excellent fat quality. It's the breed of choice for craft butchers and chefs worldwide.
Where are your pigs raised?
We work with farms in Costa Rica that raise Duroc pigs with proper space, nutrition, and low-stress handling. We know where every animal comes from.
Do you deliver?
Order directly from us via WhatsApp. We deliver across the Central Valley of Costa Rica.
Can I visit your shop?
We operate as a production facility rather than a retail storefront. The best way to get our products is through direct ordering or our retail partners.
Do you offer wholesale pricing?
Yes, we supply restaurants, hotels, and specialty retailers. Contact us via WhatsApp or email for wholesale inquiries and pricing.
Are your sausages gluten-free?
Some of our sausages may be gluten-free, while others contain ingredients such as rusk. If you have a food allergy or dietary restriction, please contact us before ordering so we can confirm the ingredients in the specific product.
What products do you currently offer?
Our current production focuses on premium Duroc pork cuts and handmade fresh sausages. We do not currently offer cured meats or charcuterie for sale.
Are your pork cuts fresh or frozen?
Our pork cuts are normally vacuum packed and sold frozen. Fresh cuts may occasionally be available around our processing days, which generally occur about once per month. Contact us if you are looking for a specific fresh cut.
How should I store your products?
Our pork cuts are sold frozen and should stay frozen until you are ready to use them, then thawed in the refrigerator. Fresh sausages should be refrigerated and used within a few days, or frozen for longer storage.
